His Heart Did Take Courage

I love this phrase. It is so descriptive. It has been coming up in my reading of the Book of Mormon. I searched it to see how many times it says this in the Book of Mormon. Here are all the times it is used, except I left out one where Coriantumr's heart took courage, because he was a bad guy.

Alma 15:4

Now, when he heard that Alma and Amulek were in the land of Sidom, his heart began to take courage; and he sent a message immediately unto them, desiring them to come unto him.

Alma 17:12

And it came to pass that the hearts of the sons of Mosiah, and also those who were with them, took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare unto them the word of God.

Alma 62:1

And now it came to pass that when Moroni had received this epistle his heart did take courage, and was filled with exceedingly great joy because of the faithfulness of Pahoran, that he was not also a traitor to the freedom and cause of his country.

Helaman 5:24

And when they saw that they were encircled about with a pillar of fire, and that it burned them not, their hearts did take courage.

I just read this one in Helaman 5. That was the last one listed. How sad, I won't be reading about anyone's hearts taking courage the whole rest of the Book of Mormon. Apparently, it is not said anywhere else in the scriptures.
